For alpha1 to alpha1 each tag is accompanied by a corresponding brach, and those *do* exist on the GIT mirror. For beta1, however, no branch seems to exist, and hence there is no trace of it on the GIT mirror.

I think we branched the alphas so we could version-stamp them while
keeping HEAD as "9.0devel". But when we switch to beta, we don't have
a devel tree anymore, it's just beta and backbranches.
